Facebook’s New Secret Game Is Soccer

Remember a few months ago when Facebook had us glued more to our smartphone screens with their hidden basketball game in Messenger? Well, Facebook’s back at it again, only this time, it’s soccer.

If you think the basketball one was difficult, you’ve got to try this. The new soccer version is more challenging as the objective is to keep the soccer ball up for as long as you can. Each bounce is credited one point, and once the ball falls off, you need to start over.

Embarrassingly, I can only go as high as 3 points on my first few tries.

You can play it by updating to the latest version of Messenger for iOS and Android and sending a soccer emoji (⚽️) to yourself or your friends. We’re itching to see what hack people will come up this time to get the highest score possible. Remember the ruler hack people did with the basketball version? That was creative.
